Mathematical history and culture contain profound educational value, serving as vital educational content for implementing the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education. Utilizing CiteSpace software, this study conducts a bibliometric analysis of literature on mathematical history and culture from core journals in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database. The findings reveal a consistent upward trend in annual publications within this research field, with normal universities as the primary contributing institutions. Key literature analysis indicates that research themes center on theoretical foundations, mathematics teaching and learning, and multicultural perspectives. Keyword emergence analysis demonstrates that “classroom teaching” “disciplinary integration” and “educative value” have become prominent research foci in recent years. However, theoretical research on mathematics education psychology, interdisciplinary pedagogy, and assessment remains limited, warranting further investigation. Additionally, enhanced collaboration with frontline teachers is recommended.
